HVSF-Thursday Night Prologue Series/Neighborhood Night - Henry V

Description

This Shakespearean epic follows a charismatic warrior King and his cohort through the brutality of warfare, as the ragtag band confronts heavy opposition and their own destinies in an aggressive pursuit of the French crown. Henry V is a deeply ambivalent play about leadership, and the power of language and storytelling to shape our collective identity. The play’s central question – What kind of leadership would it take to forge a resilience and unified band of brothers and sisters from a fractious and anxious group of individuals? – resonates with fresh urgency in our contemporary world.

At 6:15 before the show, you can grab a picnic and a glass of wine, find your way to The Terrace, and start your evening off with a free, thrilling, behind-the-scenes exploration with HVSF artists, scholars, and industry experts. These pre-show talks take place every Thursday night during the summer season and are open to the public. Henry V starts at 7:30.

June 29: Dr. Seth Herbst, West Point Assistant Professor of English
